Old thoughts

The hard-to-write post is still giving me a headache so in the meantime here is an old poem. It says 2005 on the website but that's when it went up there - I wrote it about ten years ago. It may seem to be about writing but it is only partly about that and it certainly isn't about writer's block or any such thing (I get life blocks not writing blocks!). Maybe it will help me get this silly post out and done...

Now I'm really glad I posted it Dominic! I was thinking about this poem today as I walked around Montrose (Small Girl at dance practice). I have to admit I like the last two lines (miserable and make-me-smile at the same time). Comedy and tragedy, highs and lows, the complete picture...x

Do we ask for the words or don't we? I never do... they just come. It's my "job" to tart them up and make them look respectable. Even univited guests should be treated to some bespoke tailoring by their host.
